Forest Research Institute

Reviewed By ak_conquerer - New Delhi, India

What a grand campus. The moment you enter you will surprised by the grandeur and the frolic greenery all around you. Fresh air, tall trees will surely make your walk to the central part of campus much easier. The campus is huge and very picturesque. A good number of bollywood movies have been shot at this campus. There are various museums inside and quite easy to get lost in the big campus, so just keep a track of the streets inside. If you have a private vehicle, roaming around the huge campus would be pretty easy, else walking is the only option I found. Click lots of pictures, lots of greenery and a beautiful serene environment. Relax and enjoy the wow architecture. Its magnanimous. !!

It is located around 7 km from the city. A swayambhu Shivalingam is situated in the cave. The place got it's name as water droplets falls upon Shivlingam continuously.

Tibetan Buddhist Temple

Reviewed By anupriya798 - Dehradun, India

The Tibetan Buddhist monastery, takes you to a different world. It boasts of one of the tallest statues of Lord Buddha in the whole of Asia. The temple and the statue are beautiful with intricate designs that truly depict the Tibetan culture. The vast open lawns make a good place for people to enjoy family picnics and the best part is that they take it most care that the premises remains clean. There are shops inside that sell decoratives, crockery and apparel which is really interesting. Had some great shopping experience here. There are restaurants near by that serve authentic Tibetan food. The surrounding is green with a thick jungle that makes the location even more beautiful. The place gives a sense of calm and is worth visiting.

A small and beautiful Temple with amazing heights and views of mighty Himalayan mountains. Quiet and full of spunky and loving monkeys (just watch your bags, because the monkeys will steal your stuff, lol!).
